To the Merrifields it was intensely interesting, and also to Magdalen; but all the time she could see demonstrations passing between Paula and Sister Mena, a nice-looking girl, much embellished by the setting of the hood and veil, as if the lending of a pair of scissors or the turning of a hem were an act of tender admiration.
During the occurrence we have described, the king's pioneer and the young wife of Mena were obliged to wait for the princess. The sun stood in the meridian, when Bent-Anat had gone into the hovel of the paraschites.
The king saw the two engaged in a struggle, but he could not interfere, for the reins which Mena had dropped were dragging on the ground, and his ungoverned horses, following the lions, carried him madly onwards.
The interval between the time when the prehistoric Egyptians made the graves described above and the reign of Mena must have been very considerable, and we may justly believe it to represent some thousands of years; but whatever its length, we find that the time was not sufficient to wipe out the early views which had been handed on from generation to generation, or even to modify some of the beliefs which we now know to have existed in an almost unchanged state at the latest period of Egyptian history.

"The Gods know how I love them," answered Setchem; "but your brother Horns is the younger, and you the elder, to whom the inheritance belongs.
I like a womanly woman, a graceful woman, a fascinating, bewitching woman, and the Princess is all that and more. Surely you consider her beautiful?" "Very beautiful indeed!" sighed poor Helen. "Too beautiful!" "Nonsense! As if any woman can be too beautiful! I am sorry you won't come to the Mena House. It would be a change for you, and Gervase is going."
Praxilla went towards her and expressed her thanks; then she offered her the costly coronet, the golden clasps and strings of rare pearls which her women carried; her father begged Mena to accept a coat of mail and a shield of fine silver work. The strangers were then led into the tent, and were there welcomed and entertained with all honor, and offered bread and wine.
"Mena," said Katuti, decidedly, "has violated the truth and esteem which he owes you he has trodden them under foot, and " "Mena?" exclaimed the young wife with flashing eyes; she flung the cat on the floor, and sprang from her couch. "Yes Mena," said Katuti firmly.
Time went by in silence; Uarda sat looking at the ground, Nefert and Mena held each other's hands, but the thoughts of all three were with the dead. A perfect stillness reigned, and the happiness of the reunited couple was darkly overshadowed by their sorrow.
